Smartphones - high-end mobile phones that can be so advanced they perform like a hand held pc; enhanced by a myriad of applications, it is not difficult to see why many consumers now own one, whether for business or personal use - or both! But with sales known to have been high in recent years, can this trend continue or is smartphone adoption expected to stagnate?
For lovers of statistics, even they may be surprised to know that over 1.6 billion mobile phones sold globally just in 2010 alone and of those almost 300 million were smartphones. Pretty phenomenal statistics; one could wonder, therefore, if having sold so many last year, whether the numbers will plateau or fall. Looking at just the US market, it would seem not. According to Nielsen, their forecast is that 1 in every 2 mobile phone owners will have a smartphone by 2011 and that would mean that smartphones would overtake feature phone sales for the first time.
The future development of smartphones looks very bright indeed with dual-core processors, 3D display capability, front-facing cameras, improved video capabilities, smarter phone chips allowing for use of multiple SIM cards - all these concepts either just introduced, about to be introduced or something for the near future. With so much going on and with every new smartphone being announced, it can be hard for many of us to keep up.
The future of smartphones is very exciting with the next generation expected to take the consumer to even dizzier heights with yet richer, more engaging experiences than ever before. Sales are rising and expected to continue on this upward trend, outstripping PC shipments even by 2012 according to some writers. Demand is certainly strong and there is no indication that smartphone adoption is expected to stagnate anytime soon.
Not only is smartphone trending upwards, but the young, innovative and exciting world of mobile marketing is also making great strides. Mobile marketers will be watching the smartphone trends closely to see what their target audience is buying and how they are using mobile. If you are considering using mobile marketing as a way to enhance and grow your business potential, there has never been a better time to take a closer look.
